>Never won a G1

Kensuke Sasaki was IWGP champion 5 times and was a freelancer several times when he won it. Satoshi Kojima was also a Triple Crown champion when he won it.

New Japan being in the place that it is in the hierarchy of Japanese wrestling, it normally only bestows those on full timers until recent times.
He's won the GHC Heavyweight Championship and the Triple Crown, however, which are both main card titles in other Japanese companies.

That's different than a freelancer holding it, however, especially given AJPW was in a stronger place in 2005 than it is now and New Japan was in dark times.

Comedy is the backbone of pro-wrestling.
Work rate can be good when called for but this shit is supposed to be fun first and foremost.

The problem comes when smarks think that because someone is funny that they should be pushed as a serious wrestler, see Orange Cassidy in AEW. Perfectly fine midcard guy, laughable when he challenges for the world title

different regime, gedo would never allow it
>Satoshi Kojima was also a Triple Crown champion when he won it.
kojima/tenzan was supposed to be a 60 minute draw but tenzan shoot passed out just before the time and didn't kick out
